Perhaps the Americans and Europeans should arm the Palestinians equally, so they would not target civilians. Their new rockets would be accurate to minimize collateral damage on Israeli civilians and hit only military targets like the Israelis do so effectively?

Nadine, buried in this front page NY Times article you will find this act of terrorism. Oh no, it can't be terrorism...those kids were not eating pizza and no brave Israeli was strapped to that rocket. nytimes.com >>"The Israeli Army has relied on a number of military tactics to combat violence: blockades of Palestinian areas, incursions into Palestinian-controlled areas, arrests and killings of suspected militants, and air raids. Some of those tactics, and their limitations, were on display today. From a clear blue sky Monday morning over the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli rocket whistled into the cinderblock wall of an office rented by the Islamic group Hamas. Israel said it was not trying to kill any wanted militants, but instead to send a message of reprisal to Hamas for recent attacks. But the rocket killed two low-ranking Hamas members, one of them a volunteer in the office, and injured several children who were playing or sitting outside. One of children, a 9-year-old girl, was severely wounded by shrapnel."<<
